Is it possible that at this point with the gear you're in that it's necessary to reforge a bit of crit to reach your caps just due to little else to reforge on entry level gear?
That's the only thing I can think of seeing as the problem has now persisted through two optimisers.

You can't expect to reforge PRECISELY to 7.5% for both hit and expertise. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. Your new values are better than before. And 0.06% chance to be dodged is acceptable.

Well, without trying to sound smart, what's the point of the addon? I somehow managed to get a more accurate reforge at 7.52 just by screwing around without an addon.

Right, something must be wrong here. I logged in, set up exactly what you said to put it, and it's doing all kinds of stupid crap.

EDIT: sec

I honestly don't know what this is telling me, to be honest. I've put in everything you told me to do, Amat. It's not losing any crit, which I guess is good, but I need a second opinion before I spend the gold to see if it worked.

It looks mostly ok, other than leaving you a little shy on expertise, for what reason, I have no idea. Those are the same weights I'm using and mine works just fine, I don't know what to tell you at this point, I've never had this happen.

I noticed a text cursor in the 2550 (hit) field - did you press enter there? If you just entered 2550 and didn't press enter - it may not be in effect.
That would explain why it's reforging hit (below cap) to expertise and ignoring Dodge on your chest.

P.S. I also recommend to use presets there (Hit/Expertise caps) and to not enter values manually

This is so annoying now. The addon must be broken or something. It keeps reforging crit now, and it's not getting me to the caps at all.

I went back and did it again, this time using melee hit cap. Same thing happens. :/

Edit: Uhm, don't I want 'At most' melee hit cap?

Did you install this addon recently or was it sitting there for long time and you just updated it? Try uninstalling it (removing all settings in WTF folder) if latter is the case.

You need "at least". At most means "not more than" - that is it can be lower.

But I don't want more than 7.5%...

That's why there's a zero in the "weight after cap" field.
"At most" is used in complex caps. Like soft cap and hard cap. Soft cap is "At least" and after this soft cap the weight is set to a lower value (not zero)
And hard cap is set to "at most". So any excess, unreforgable, unused expertise (for instance) will go towards the hard cap.

All I want it to do is get me close to the caps. Slightly over is fine, but not under.
And I want it to not reforge crit.

None of these are met with the settings I've been told, so I don't know what's up.

Fuck sake. I tried it again at it took me to 8% exp. What is wrong with this thing?

Re-install it. Delete its files in WTF folder (SavedVariables).

And follow these steps:
1. Select your class/spec template
2. Adjust weight values and press enter after each input
3. Set up Hit/Expertise caps (if not set) using presets
4. Save your template as custom for future use.
5. Press Calculate. Several times (not repeatedly though, wait for results each time) - until the results stay the same or switch in a loop between couple of stats (select the result with preferred stat).

It seems like common sense to me that I don't want overkill/lose of good stats. But fine, if you could link an actual arms warrior guide, then that'd be great. Because that video is crap and I can't find anything via google.

Make sure in the section under the Stat Weights, you have your Caps turned on, there's a little drop down menu that'll say Hit, and then another for "at least", "at most", "soft cap", "manual", choose Soft Cap, it'll automagically put in the soft cap value, after which, hit will have a stat value of 0. Make sure it's updated or it'll still be working off old values for hit/exp.

As for your crit/mastery issue. It did it because of how expertise is weighed. Expertise is so much of a higher value than crit or mastery, it took crit (because there was more of it, thus more exp) to make you reach the cap faster, so you had to reforge out of LESS secondary stats for exp in general. It's also coupled with the fact that Crit & Mastery are likely weighed very close in your reforge, causing it to decide that it's better to take more crit here because mastery is "almost as good" (according to the addon) And take less elsewhere.

IIRC stat weights for Reforgelite are not set up, you'll need to do them manually. You can always check out elitistjerks and pull the stat weights you need from there and just plug them into reforgelite

If you don't mind, may we see your armory? I wanna see if there's a particular reason WHY it's giving you so much of the off stats (It's generally pretty good about getting within .01-.05% of hit/exp caps)
